SSO in Alfresco share.

[shibu]

I need to implement SSO in Alfresco Share. I  Have one application running in  my machine… When the users of that application logged in , I need to allow them to access Alfresco Share with out showing log in page.
When ever new user is created and logged into that application, a new account should be created in alfresco Share for that user, and he should be logged in when he tries to use alfresco.

How can I implement this? Please tell me the steps to do.

Hi Shibu,

First what ever the other application which you are talking about that application and alfresco both should be configured with some central user management system like LDAP.That will server your requirement of crating user automatically in alfresco when it is created on that system.

Now for your second SSO related requirement you can use tool of your choice which can provide you SSO.There are various Central Access Management tool are available some of them are configured as subsystem in alfresco.You can configure alfresco to use any of this.

Hi mitpatoliya,
Thanx for the reply. 
Is it necessary that application and alfresco both should be configured with some central user management system like LDAP? Can't we do external authentication which is described here :
